Espresso Martini at Steep River Run – A Near-Perfect Masterpiece

I've had a lot of espresso martinis in my time—some good, some bad, and some that tasted like someone accidentally dropped a coffee pod into a vodka bottle and called it a day. But let me tell you, the one at Steep River Run? Absolutely next level.

This isn't just another espresso martini; it's a new take on the classic, and somehow, they’ve managed to perfect it. The balance of espresso, sweetness, and just the right kick of booze is near flawless—smooth, bold, and rich without being overly sweet or bitter. It’s the kind of drink that makes you question why you’ve tolerated so many subpar versions elsewhere.

I’ve had espresso martinis from fancy bars to questionable airport lounges, and only rarely do I find one that I’d willingly order again. This? I’d happily come back for it. And no, it’s not just because this review gets me a free drink (though that’s a nice perk). It’s actually that good.

If you’re an espresso martini fan—or just want a damn good cocktail—get yourself to Steep River Run. 5 stars, hands down.

worst place ever. we ordered 3 drinks from this place and they kicked us out for having outside food but we are still their customers too, regardless of what we ordered. we needed a place to sit to eat and drink, while we bought our drinks from them and when we sat down the bar tenders started repeatedly saying we can’t sit inside or outside if you didn’t buy anything and we told them we got 3 drinks but they repeated “you can’t sit inside or outside”. so now we are sitting on the cold floor outside while there are many empty tables and the place isn’t even busy!

We were surprised and disappointed to see that the owner of Steep responded to customer feedback in such a disrespectful manner. As paying customers, we expect to be treated with respect, even when providing constructive criticism. We believe that every customer deserves a professional and courteous response, and hope that the team at Steep will reconsider how they engage with feedback in the future. This is just sad to see how rude people are here at Steep Coffee, really ruined my day!

No duty is more urgent than that of returning Thanks. STEEP Weekend Morning Staff (Dec-28 & 29) excelled in every way. They had great appreciation of great food and a wonderful empathy of responding to the requirements of the customers. Food and drinks were delicious and were presented superbly. It was a real joy to be on the receiving end of your enormous service and a courteous heart. Thank you!!

The espresso martini was so good, so rich. So flavorful. Im very picky about my drinks and was not disappointed. Kyle and Kimberly were great bartenders. This now our go-to bar

My wife and I stopped in here mid-afternoon when wandering around River Run during a summer weekday when most other stores were closed. We are super glad we stopped in. Pretty cool small town bar vibe that serves up coffee and various mixed drinks and beer. I had a great mocha latte and my wife had a pretty tasty local IPA. Bartender/barista was nice and upbeat. We were able to take our drinks outside and sit on the deck which was nice. From outside you can enjoy your drink with a nice view of the rest of River Run and the mountain. Can’t speak on their food, but the drinks were good. Another bonus is that they are open later in the day than inxpot which is the other popular coffee place in River Run.

Can't think of a better spot for some aprés at Keystone. Stone's throw from the bottom of the mountain and always good beer and cocktails on tap. Pizza is freaking killer! Guest taps now and then too that add some variety. Good people watching and usually pretty easy to find a spot at the bar if not grab a table

Only one breakfast option, egg and bacon sandwich, along with some assorted pastries. Location and mimosas are nice. Just like other location they are phasing out pizza to focus on wings.
